    Bellingrath Gardens Christmas display near Mobile Al.

    I took this shot hand held tonight at 8:44 PM across a pond. The train is about 80ft long and probably about 10ft tall. You can see the reflection in the pond. I was about 350 to 400 ft away from the train up the embankment on one side of the pond and it was on the other side of the pond on the bank. A tripod would have produced a better picture but it was just too heavy for me to carry for the 2 1/2 mile walk through the park. I just re-sized it and posted it, Jeff

    This is WELL WORTH the money to go and see. We took the family and grandkids to see the over three million lights they have in their out door displays and it was GREAT. The grand kids had a ball and so did the adults. Here are a few more pictures of our visit, Jeff

    #1 Small part of the Under the Sea display
    #2 Unicorn with about a 50ft rainbow
    #3 Alligators and their reflections on the pond. Alligators are 20ft to 25ft long
    #4 About a 50ft dragon
    #5 House is life size. The white string of light is just below hip high to keep visitors from
    getting too close.

    These are excellent, Jeff. Looks like a really fun place to go, and I imagine it's a Christmas paradise for the kids.
